Finding (multiset) difference between two arrays

Question

Given arrays (say row vectors) A and B, how do I find an array C such that merging B and C will give A?

For example, given

A = [2, 4, 6, 4, 3, 3, 1         


        

Answer 1

Strongly inspired by Matt, but on my machine 40% faster:

function A = multiDiff(A,B)
for j = 1:numel(B)
    for i = 1:numel(A)
        if A(i) == B(j)
            A(i) = [];
            break;
        end
    end
end
end
